If the first large table is any indication, though, we may need to
define "inconsistent". C syntax shown there is quite consistent;
what it isn't, is designed to keep humans from making certain kinds
of mistakes. I'm rather mixed on that goal: on the one hand, C does
attract certain errors due to its syntax, but on the other, a
language designed to coddle the programmer also tends to keep the
programmer from doing useful things. (What's the last practical
application you've seen in Logo? Or un-extended Pascal?)
